Do you have a watch that you consider your guilty pleasure? Let me see it!

Many years ago my father gave me this Tag and for me it was the best, now that I have tried many watches and that I have studied. I know that this Tag is hated by many because they consider it the downfall of the brand, so I consider it outside of my emotional burden as my guilty pleasure because I really like it.

Great watch.

Tell the Tag haters to pound sand and wear it proudly.

I have nothing but love for Techniques Avant Guard/Heuer Products, always have, and always will.

·

Well I have one of these too. I certainly don't feel guilty when wearing it though. I think that TAG should still make these as they were great.

I like it so much I gave it a full service at TAG in Switzerland back in 2014. New crystal , new bezel and a replacement movement. I love this little thing. One of their best I think. Certainly not the downfall of the brand.

Tag was my first luxury watch and the rest is history.

My guilty pleasure Watch was my Hublot, but now I dont care. I now keep telling everyone that I love Hublot 😆 (not my most favorite, but I love it)

My whole collection of Timex Standard x Peanuts I've posted about fit the bill here. My wife doesn't even know about them yet.

Yes. This Invicta Grand Diver in 18k PVD & MOP dial. I love shiny things. I'm not sure where I'd wear it...

It’s a quartz Invicta Pro Diver 43 mm. It’s a little too big and a cheap Sea Dweller Hommage but I like it.

I wear it proudly and I enjoy it a lot, I even enjoy the ugly face that Tag Haters put on it!

For me it was the brand that made my passion for watches grow!

I think many brands are looking for their movement driven by light and Tag did not do wrong, I repeat they are my brand of guilty pleasure watches that I enjoy the most!

Your watch is impeccable, mine may already have 15 years of use. However, due to the inclusion of Ronda movements and the addition of plastic both in the support of the movement and in the bezel, people turned their backs on it.

Well, if there is a whole group of haters around Tag, there is undoubtedly one equal or greater against Hublot, but I must admit that more than one of us would include one in our collection even to generate controversy with our taste! Congrats my friend it´s a stunning watch!

I think there comes a point in the collection where a showy, funny or different dial should be included, besides they are watches that evoke a smile when looking at them! Congratulations!

Well, in this Invicta I see a lot of what they criticize Tag and despite the fact that the gold ones are not for me, I must say that that gold and mother of pearl dial are very striking! Congratulations!

I think Invicta also has its own haters mainly because they are associated with these huge/rare watches, but these Pro-diver are very nice and deserve a chance and if they can be tested in 40mm better. I think they would be a watch that I would try!

Yeah the plastic bezel does let it down. Apparently I got the last replacement bezel from the spares bin when I had mine referred. I have to admit to being really gentle with it nowadays, through it does get worn.

Would love TAG to do a reissue in a larger size may be 38 mm

My guilty pleasure is my Lucerne Digital Jump Hour. Does it fit well? Not particularly. Does it keep accurate time? Sort of, but nothing special. It has a one jewel movement and weighs as much as a light truck. It is by all means weird and inelegant, but damn it, I love it.
